Happy first day of fall, everyone!

If I could bottle the summer with its wonderful smells of ocean, grilled fresh fish and fig jam, I would have stocked up for the entire winter. Most people feel blue about the fall coming up, me, not so much. I love the the cooler days of steaming cups of honey green tea, snugly cashmere wraps and wearing out my trenches. And honoring the fall, I have hauled a few new additions to my existing wardrobe, that, miraculously is downsizing to the essentials, serving the main principle – quality versus quantity. I longed for a simple long sleeved t-shirt in white, a comfy pair of jeans and some closed, everyday shoes that would be bearable to walk in. And I was lucky enough so far to find them, even more so – managed to get a lovely, great-fitting bra, too!

The jeans are impeccable – the right color of blue, soft, stretchy, figure-hugging and flattering on the curves. A straight leg in Demi Curve with the perfect length, right below the ankle that will go well with both flats and heels. I was in a desperate need of a new pair of jeans with that easy, worn feel to them and this pair fit the bill.

The t-shirt comes very close to the fit and feel of the jeans – a soft organic cotton with great shape to it. It makes my bust ample and my waste tiny, while delivering a sensational feel of the fabric to the skin. I am very impressed with the cut, style and quality of this otherwise basic piece. It may be expensive for what it is, but it stands out among its cheaper peers and makes me feel exceptionally well dressed.

The shoes, oh the shoes. You are aware of my continuous struggle with finding a good-looking and actually bearable to walk in shoes. I dreamed about having a pair in that warm cognac color, similar to my Michael Kors bags and accessories one, just to be able to tie an outfit together. I am that kind of person, who visualizes everything – from my food, to the words in foreign languages to outfits. So, they ware part of that vision and I am more than pleased with myself for allocating these. They are actually walkable (is this even a word?) and I can see myself in them for more than 30 seconds. The combination of the jeans, the white tee and the shoes will be a subject of the next outfit, together with a MK belt & bag in that particular color. Pictures to come!

And a few words about the bra. Who would have even thought I would be speaking of such a subject? And yet, here I am. The bra in question is a very unusual one for me. It is from the teen section of the well-respected among adult women brand Triumph and is made of delicate material and light padding. It is a simple t-shirt bra with no lace or ornaments, but the style and fit make it stunning. Not to mention the lilac color. So, very rebellious of me. It is comfortable and yet sexy and very pleasing to the eye. If you haven’t ventured yet into the fall shopping, get inspired now!
